      Why this why now

      Further to graphing linear sequences in the previous unit, pupils now learn to connect understanding with solving linear equations after demonstrating how for each point on a linear graph there is a unique solution to the equation of the line.

      Prior knowledge requirements

      • Understand and apply inverse operations
      • Simplify algebraic expressions
      • Solve one-step and two-step equations

      Solving linear equations

      In this unit pupils will learn how to find a value that satisfies a linear relationship when one value is known both with a single step operation, and multiple step operations. A variety of cases are explored including using brackets and rearranging.
